Product Description

We know that we must nourish our bodies every day with food and water or our health will decline. But we may forget that's true spiritually as well. When we neglect to regularly feed on the Scriptures, our faith becomes weak and we start to lose touch with our Savior. But a diet of fast food is bad for the body, too. Likewise, your soul needs more than a quick fix. John MacArthur offers a solution--and an alternative to the typical thematic or topical devotionals--by taking an in-depth approach to Bible exposition in this daily companion. Stimulating and instructive, the selections take you on a well-crafted, guided tour of dynamic Bible doctrines and their application to life. There are also practical suggestions for prayer, ideas for further exploration, and an easy-to-use guide for prayer, ideas for further exploration, and an easy-to-read guide for reading through the Bible in a year. Through this daily devotional you will gain a firm grasp of many of the great texts of the Bible. And just as importantly, you will learn how to feed on Scripture on your own, developing the study skills needed to open up the Bible and enjoy its rich, marvelous truths.

Author Bio

John MacArthur has served as the pastor of Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, California, since 1969. He is known for his verse-by-verse expository preaching, and his pulpit ministry has extended around the world via his daily radio program, Grace to You. He has also written or edited nearly four hundred books and study guides. MacArthur serves as the president of The Masters College and Seminary, a four-year liberal arts Christian college. He and his wife, Patricia, live in Southern California and have four grown children.

A very wonderful tool for daily Bible study. As all of Dr. MacArthur's writings are wonderful for learning and understanding the Word of God, this is, again, written to give the true understanding of the written Word to the reader.

This devotional does not disappoint. John MacArthur gives great truths and insights to ponder, Bible verses to read, and prayer suggestions. I have forsaken all my other devotional booklets for this one.

There are many devotionals that are available, and it is difficult to choose. Once the choice is made, you stick with it for the entire year. You will not be disappointed with Drawing Near by John MacArthur. This is my absolute favorite devotional, as it is designed to draw you near to the Lord, and feed you daily. A close second is "Strength for Today" also by John MacArthur. I personally read from both every day, and absolutely love the content. If you can afford it, purchase both Devotionals.
